REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH


The Board of Health submits the following report for the year ending December 31, 1934:


The health department is very pleased with the result of the Toxin and Antitoxin Administration to the people of the community. A great many have taken advantage of the opportunity to immunize themselves and their children, thereby, helping greatly the prevention and control of diphtheria. There has not been a case of diphtheria clin- ically diagnosed reported to the Board of Health since the treatment commenced about six years ago.


The milk supply in the town of Westford is on the improvement. Most all cows have been tuberculin tested and approved and by spring we expect to have a one hundred per cent area.


It will be noted in the nurse's report that quite a number of the school children have had the milk, distributed by the board, and it has been of a great assistance to the underweight children.


Contagious and infectious diseases are kept down by the vigilance of the Health Department and the follow-up work of the Health Nurse at the homes. This condition would be a great deal better, if we had a little more cooperation from the heads of the families at various times.


The Dental Clinic is still doing good work and has been patron- ized very freely, but improvement in this respect can be made by more parents taking advantage of this opportunity and thereby will help the endeavors of the dentist and the Board of Health for the wel- fare of the children.


The Chadwick Clinic of the State of Massachusetts, in conjunction with this department, still showed improvement in the children as to the prevention and control of tuberculosis. This work is now taken over by the Middlesex County Sanatorium in conjunction with this board. The clinic just held by them shows no tuberculosis in any of the school children and practically no tendency.


The Board of Health has returned to the Town their usual unex- pended balance.


The department asks for the same appropriation as last year with a hundred and fifty dollars added to establish a canine clinic. This clinic is advocated by the State Board of Health to administer anti-rabitic serum to all the dogs of the town.


Following this report is the report of the Public Health Nurse who has performed her various duties in a most satisfactory manner.


Respectfully submitted,


CYRIL A. BLANEY, Chairman, OLIVER A. REEVES, Sec., ISAAC L. HALL,

REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE FOR 1934


Mr. Arthur M. Whitley was re-elected to the Board and also continued as Chairman of Board which organized on March 5th with Mr. Edmund L. Provost as Secretary, Thos. P. Cosgrove being the third member. The work of the Board, as in 1932-33, had particularly to deal with circumstances resulting from the depression, and unfor- tunate as it is, it is still with us.


The C. W. A. did not mean so much to the Welfare Department as would naturally be supposed, from the fact that their rulings relative to citizenship were, in a great many of our cases of able- bodied men, and usually with large families and willing to work, were barred because they were not citizens, and consequently had to be supported by the Welfare Department. When the F. E. R. A. came into existance it was primarily created to reduce the welfare expense. Every able-bodied man was put to work irrespective of citizenship on the various projects selected, and has reduced the number of families on the welfare from forty-eight to twenty-six at the present time.


There are families of course on the E. R. A. who cannot support themselves on $12.00 per week, but probably not more than a half dozen, and of course they have to be given a little aid. But the fact remains that had not the E. R. A. continued the expense would have been almost prohibitive. The different activities of the E. R. A. cannot be counted in dollars and cents, but can be appreciated by those in circumstances to receive its benefits. The men, of course, are taken care of by the various projects-the women have their sewing projects, the benefit of which is very apparent both to the workers and the Welfare Department. The distribution of the articles sewn is very material, and the distribution of provisions is a very valuable asset to the grocery bill. Reasonable quantities of beef, hamburg, veal, pork, cheese, sugar, rice, cabbage and potatoes have been and still are distributed.


During the year, seventy-two different families have been aided in the town, and fourteen outside the town holding settlements herein representing an expenditure of $2,500.00. We have State wards costing $2,000.00 annually, and four mothers' aid cases costing $2,200.00. There are at present fourteen cases on Old Age Assistance Rolls, and several applicants being considered, five having died during 1934.


The Conservation Corps is still operating, which is a very credit- able organization. In 1933 we sent eighteen young men, and in 1934 we sent fourteen to the Selecting Agency from which they are sent to various camps as needed. This is a fine opportunity for young


84


men between eighteen and twenty-five years of age who are unem- ployed as it not only gives them employment but is a direct help to their parents at home because they are required to send home, in fact the Government sends home $25.00 a month. The Corps is under the direction and supervision of an army officer and as a health producing enterprise it is unsurpassed.


The Red Cross have continued their grand work and in many cases in conjunction with the Welfare Department which is appre- ciated very much.


At the Town Farm this year not much repairing or altering was needed, other than a new soft coal boiler which was installed at the request of State Supervisors. Eleven additional radiators were in- stalled, making a total of 22 radiators în the Home so that now it is warm and comfortable. The shed roof was repapered and the purchase of a lime spreader were the only outside expenditures at the farm. The farm produced about 300 bushels of potatoes, prac- tically all of which are in the cellar in anticipation of a reasonable market; vegetables to supply the Home, and the silo again filled. At present the E. R. A. have a project of cutting fire wood at the farm for use of the Welfare Department. This was formerly done by men who were on the Welfare roles. Further deliveries of E. R. A. pro- visions will be made only to persons who have no one, or who are unable to go to the Infirmary and get it.


In conclusion, if you have any constructive criticism, we ask you to please come forward with it.


The Board will appreciate your favor very much.


(Signed)


ARTHUR M. WHITLEY, EDMUND L. PROVOST, THOMAS P. COSGROVE, Board of Public Welfare.

REPORT OF THE WORK OF THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE IN WESTFORD DURING 1934


The following is a report of the work done in this town by the Middlesex County Extension Service during the year of 1934.


Assistance was given in diagnosing disease in poultry flocks and recommendations given to overcome them. Some assistance was given on housing problems. One poultryman is cooperating with the Poultry Department on a housing and ventilation problem.


Dairy farmers have been given help in milk market problems, particularly on adjustment of base ratings, and information furnished on Control Board rulings.


Westford farmers attended the series of weekly dairy meetings held in Concord last winter.


Otis Day served as a member of the County Compliance Commit- tee for the Hatchery Code.


38 farm visits were made in Westford.


Moving pictures of apple picking and packing, cost figures and details of production were presented at a winter meeting attended by 24 fruit growers.


A tour of Middlesex County farm storages visited a fruit storage in Westford.


Peach parasites were released at one farm.


The C. W. A. project on cutting neglected fruit trees was aided. The Extension Service has been emphasizing the danger of neglected trees in breeding pests such as the apple maggot.


Though organized home work is not as strong here as in some towns, contacts have been made through a food demonstration at the Tadmuck Club through a recreational night with the young people and, perhaps most important, by home visits to 4-H club members. The Chamberlain's Corner unit has continued with its large member- ship and enthusiasm. They carried the regular program of Nutrition, Home Management, and the Outdoor Living Room. The Bonhand Thimble Club sent Mrs. R. Steeves and Mrs E .. Knapman as leaders to the series of meetings on the Outdoor Living Room. The home agent has met with both of these groups.


A 4-H club rally was held at the Academy with 190 in attendance. Garden and canning clubs carried through the summer. Thomas Johnston was awarded $3.00 by the Middlesex North Agricultural As- sociation for his fine garden. Priscilla Knowlton was delegate to the county camp for her outstanding work as a sixth year club member. Eileen Keizer was a delegate for the two-day trip to the State College.


87


This is an award to outstanding club members. Priscilla Knowlton and Eileen Keizer are both junior leaders, assisting Miss Lucinda Prescott and Mrs. A. Hildreth with the canning clubs. These boys and girls were also two-day trip candidates.


There are twelve 4-H clubs carrying winter projects. Each village is represented with at least one club. Leadership is one of the most important factors in club work-a good leader means a successful club, nine times out of ten. Miss Gertrude Donohue was sent as a delegate to the leaders' camp at Camp Gilbert on the State College campus.


It should be remembered that the work of the Middlesex County Ex- tension Service is free to all citizens of the county who desire to par- ticipate in its work. It is organized primarily to serve farmers, home- makers and boys and girls residing in rural sections but homemakers, back yard gardeners and boys and girls in villages may also avail themselves of this service.

REPORT OF FISH AND GAME WARDEN


Westford, Massachusetts, January1,1935


To the Citizens of Westford:


The following is a report of the work done by me for the year 1934 as Fish and Game Warden:


I have patroled the different fields, woods and covers in Westford all through the year 1934. I do not mean that I go out every day, as some weeks I might not go out more than once or twice, but I try to go over the ground often.


It may not be generally known, but all Town Wardens are sup- posed to send a written report every quarter to the division of Fish- eries and Game of the work they have done, also the general conditions as regard fish and game for the three months in their town, so I like to keep up with the rest. I have fed all birds through the bad weather regardless of whether they were game birds or not. I have bought the grain and fed them and have given grain to all people who asked for it. We have the usual trouble with small birds. Cats get many of them every year. Also the small boys with their toy riflles. It is too bad that people will buy guns for small boys to go out and shoot small birds and pigeons, and, in fact, any small animals they happen to see, but that is up to the parents. Children brought a number of birds to me all summer that were shot with small guns. Also some very valuable carrier pigeons.


I saw a number of hunters out this season, but all claim pheasants are scarce. The covers have been all well stocked, but for some reason there were not many shot in the open season. This is said to be the fault of the fox. It is said that there were more foxes seen the last two years in this vicinity than have been seen here for over fifty years. However, all we know is that the pheasant, partridge, quail and woodcock are scarce. Gray rabbits are very plentiful, but I can not tell what has happened to the snowshoe. They never seem to increase. There have been enough snowshoe rabbits put out in this town the past ten years to fill every swamp and wood in the county, but for some reason, they disappear. Very few are ever seen after they are liberated.


I saw quite a few gray squirrels that were shot the past season and got the usual number of complaints about people shooting squirrels near houses. The gray squirrels are large enough to leave the nests about about the middle of May. Some people feed and watch them until they are very tame and are pets, but that makes little difference to some hunters. If they see them, they shoot them.


89


I had quite a lot of trouble about the use of the steel trap, but the way the law is now, I do not see anything that can be done about it until the town takes some action on the steel trap law, which I hope they will do at the next town meeting. All people should take some interest in this law and vote one way or the other. As it is now, it is difficult for the warden to know what to do.


There have been some good catches of fish this season, in fact they are getting some good ones at the present time through the ice, but I do not think there are as many fishing this year as in previous years.


·The ponds, brooks and covers have all been stocked under the direction of District Warden, John Broadrick.


The following covers got sixteen pheasants each:


Town Farm


Poor Farm Meadow


Arthur Wilson's Farm


Wm. McDonald's Farm


Griffin's Farm


Old Smith Place


Long Sought For Section


Hornbrook Farm


Nesmith's Meadow


Geo. Kimball's Farm


Blaisdell's Farm


Texas Farm


Coolidge's Meadow


Opposite Wright's Cemetery


The following covers got ten quail each:


Griffin's Farm


Rear of Nabnasset


Coolidge's Farm


Opposite Wright's Cemetery


Sullivan's Farm


Baptist Pond Brook, Nashoba Brook, and Snake Meadow Brook got five hundred Brook Trout each.


Long Sought For Pond got five hundred small mouth bass and fifteen hundred white perch. Keyes Pond, Forge Pond, and Burgess Pond also got fifteen hundred white perch.


There is a lot of land posted all through the town and other neighboring towns, and if we do not respect the farmer and land owner all land will be posted. Remember, no matter where you hunt, fish or trap on so-called wild land some one owns it and is paying taxes on it and all that grows on it belongs to them; blue- berries, wild strawberries, wild grapes, chestnuts, walnuts, butternuts, evergreen, laurel, Christmas trees and other shrubs all have a com- mercial value, so if you want to hunt or trap it is up to you to use the land owner right. It does not make any difference how much his land is stocked, he can stop you from hunting or trapping, so try to be fair if you do not want all the land posted.


90


During the year 1934 I made the following number of trips: January 5, February 4, March 5, April 11, May 13, June 9, July 5, August 8, September 3, October 8, November 13, December 5. I examined 54 licenses and attended the District Court at Ayer.


Hoping the report will meet with your approval, I am,


Obediently yours,


JOE WALL, Fish and Game Warden, Westford, Mass.
